Back in the 80s and 90s, we had less Islamic resources, but we also had less distractions.
Today, we have more Islamic resources Alhumdulilah, but we also have more distractions.
I honestly can’t decide which time was a better time to be in, and it really doesn’t matter.
The point is, Allah subhana wata'aalah put you and me at a specific time on this earth, and it is up to us to make the best out of it.
